I was trying Netgear MA111v2 USB Wireless Adapter from many days.
As per your easy steps, I tried it on Puppy-301, Muppy, Puppy214R.
I'm getting the wlan0 interface successfully.
I've not yet configured to access any network.
But as the wlan0 interface is available now, it will work.

Finally got the Netgear WG111T adapter on my work Dell 610 laptop to work, under 2.14R (remaster). The files you offered did not work, but I downloaded WG111T Version Driver 1.3 from the Netgear site, installed to my desktop PC and copied the .sys and .inf files.
Didn't make a good job of the rc.local file at first, but it all loads up fine now.

I've just got my wg111v3 working. I had tried it before a hundred times it feels like, without success. Found this tread and to my dissapointment I allready treid it all. But tonight i treid a diffrent thing and I got it working.

I had to force Puppy to load the ndiswrapper to load at startup to get it working.

And i don't have to edit rc.local, it works even after reboot.

This thread was started back when Puppy had an older kernel.
But from Puppy 4.1 the Netgear WG111v3 should be supported by a native Linux driver - rtl8187.

Just want to tell everybody that this isn't correct. wg111v3 has the RTL8187B-chip, so you still have to use ndiswrapper!
It is correct for wg111 and wg111v2.

I did say "should be supported" but apparently B-variant support is broken in the 2.6.25 kernel.
Proper support for the "B" variant of the Realtek USB chipset has been fixed in recent kernels, so wow's Ultrapup with 2.6.28 kernel should work OK with the rtl8187 driver.

Woot! it worked pretty well for me on 4.1 Retro on a stock IBM ThinkPad 1200 series with only 64MB Ram and 10GB Hdd
It took a couple reboots and some tweaking but it is rock solid.
I had only used the drivers that CatDude provided; i shall give it a go with any Linux drivers i find on a different Hdd.
This was a REAL help in getting an old solid lappy back in action for basics in my neighborhood.

Thanks CatDude -Step 6 got my WiFi auto loading on bootup which was a pain having to load it manually D-Link and also digitech adaptors with rtl8187.
Seems it slows up the loading of some modules though as I am getting some uncommon messages on boot about loading modules .
"making the file system useable..................failed " repeats a couple of times and whenit all comes up I have lost the sound control.

When I close down I get some more of the same and then when I reboot it goes off and does a file system check on my hard drive and any other drive I have plugged in.

Is there a place to put these lines of script that will ensure they execute after everything else is loaded? ie in profile perhaps?
